Footnote numbering restarts on each page of PDF output

Post by EileenP »

My content is generated from topics imported from Word. The content includes footnotes.
In the output, the footnotes restart on each page. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thank you!

In Stylesheet Editor (Advanced view), you can set mc-footnote-number as "chapter" and mc-footnote-position as "page".

Code: Select all

MadCap|footnote.footnote
{
	mc-footnote-comment-format: '{n} ';
	mc-footnote-format: '{n} ';
	mc-footnote-number: chapter;
	mc-footnote-position: page;
}
This way, the numbering will increase inside the chapter (not restarting on each page) and the footnote will display at the end of page.

It just worked here on my PDF output generated from content imported from Word.

For the sake of comprehensiveness, these footnote attributes are discussed in Flare's help system, here: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... bering.htm

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!
